i agree with dragos here - bundles seemed to be a quick and dirty fix.
i haven't had to do something similar recently - but i hope this part

- "smart" groups/bundles. again, use of regex throughout here is essential
- include & exclude fields on objects
- ability for objects to inherit groups from parents (and/or container assets)
